Closed alpha · ALPHA 1
Living Tabletop
Every piece has a life.
Your world · Their lives · Your words
A tabletop world where every figure lives its own day, keeps its own secrets — and answers you in its own words.
What's different
Not a script. A town that lives.
Talk, don't pick
No dialogue trees. You type what you want to say, and they answer as themselves.
They remember what they saw, tell only what they know, and only to someone they trust.
They live without you
Every figure has work, debts, friends, a body that tires and goals of its own.
Gossip spreads, bread runs out, deals are struck. The table keeps playing when you look away.
The real sky of that place and year
Days and nights run on the clock of the world. Shadows turn with the sun, and when it sets, the sky above is the one that was there.
“The characters in this game are independent AI. Not artificial, but with a character, desires, addictions, grudges, resolve and goals of their own, woven into the story.”

Boxes on the shelf

Same table. New lives. — a new seed brings new people to the same world.

Join the test
Sit at the table early
Tell us a little about yourself. When a seat opens, we send you an invitation with your tester code and a download link.
What you get
- A conversation no game has given you
- Talk to people who have a character of their own. They remember, want, hold grudges and keep secrets. No page can show it; you meet it at the table.
- Your name in the Credits
- Everyone who plays in ALPHA 1 is listed in the game's Credits.
What we ask
Nothing. Just play — whenever it suits you, as much as you like, until ALPHA 1 ends on November 8, 2026.
What the game records
While you play, the game sends us data about the game itself: how it runs, where you went, what you did and what you said to the characters. It does not record your screen, and it does not send your name or your files; only a bug report you choose to send carries a picture of the game. It is only for fixing the game, and we delete it all when ALPHA ends, before the beta begins. The test terms say exactly what and why. You must be 18 or older.
